We are given a rhombus with one side measuring 5 cm, and one angle measuring 50 degrees. To determine the area we can use the following formula:


A=a^2sin\alpha

Where "a" is one side and alpha is the measure of any interior angle of the rhombus. In this case, we have that


\angle\text{ODC}=50^0

Since line DB bisects the angle ADC, that means that:


\angle ADC=2(50^0)=100^0

Replacing in the formula for the area:


A=(5\operatorname{cm})^2\sin 100

Solving we get:


A=24.62cm^2
